  1. Pain is only temporary, and so is truth and memes. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  2. People who believed in an idea become the idea itself. It is more appropriate to criticize the people than to criticize the idea. Some people do not believe in popular ideas anyways. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  3.  @willisverynice  Jesus is a Buddha, an enlighten one. He is also a Taoist, a seeker of truth. Jesus is most of all a Muslim, one who submits himself to the Will of God. The relevant point here between you and me is Jesus is extreme. Buddha, Taoism, and Islam are not extreme. They are peaceful, tolerant, and inclusive. And in reality, it's the opposite. Yin Yang, I suppose. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  4. Why Do We Believe Things That Aren't True??? Don't be ridiculous !!! We only believe things that we believed are true. Few centuries ago everyone on earth except a few believed the earth is flat because people believed it is true. Nowadays, everyone except a few believed the earth is a globe because people believed it is true. Well, have you seen the earth ? Touched it, heard it, tasted it, smelled it ? I haven't. So how the hell do we know if the earth is flat or is a globe ? It's all meme. To be more practical, believe truth is only temporary. That is ancient Chinese secret. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  7. It is like your genes. You are born with it. The good news is : good or bad is only temporary like rain and sunshine. Think of rain when the sun shines, and think of sunshine when it rains. It's that simple. This is ancient Chinese secret. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  10.  @willisverynice  Jesus is extreme and he got himself killed. He was nailed to the cross. But he is alive today in spirit which is in his teachings recorded in history books called Gospels. Ideas never died, you see ? May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  11.  @willisverynice  Exactly. Religions are nothing but organized political movements. Believe in God. Do not believe in any religion, any book, or any political bullshit. Jesus is not a religion. Jesus is a man. He told us to love God. Do you love God ? Do you understand what love is ? May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  12.  @willisverynice  Ethics ??? What is ethics ? Ethics is simply what one individual believe is ethical. Ethics is always subjective, always temporary or transitional, and always situational or conditional. n There is no objective ethics, no permanent or unchanging ethics, and no absolute or unconditional ethics. Period. You don't have to believe in gods to love God. To love God one loves everything created by God. That would include flowers and puppies as well as earthquakes and cancer. One who loves God would accept all things as inevitable and be thankful for them. That is the ethics of one who loves God. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  13.  @willisverynice  Exactly. Ethics and morality are different, to you. That is because ethics and morality are both subjective, transitional, and situational. Your ethic and morality today may not be the same to you tomorrow, or in a different context. It's that simple. You don't love everything created by God means you don't love God, and also means you don't understand what God is or what love is. Please tell us what God is and what love is. Give it a try. Love God is a nuanced approach to our relationship with God. Understand it and you'll get to like it. Buddha does not love God. He loves detachment, and he used that as the mean to relieve pain and suffering. That is a wonderful shorthand to God's Creation. It is passive, pessimistic, dull and uncreative approach to life. It is still very powerful though. I use it sometimes when I felt overwhelmed, hopeless, and helpless under outside pressure. It works great under those time and circumstances. If you like Buddha, you should consider studying Lao Tzu and I-Ching. Lao Tzu's approach is more nuanced. I-Ching is probably too difficult to understand, but I-Ching is what Lao Tzu's Dao De Jing is based on. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  14.  @willisverynice  I never told anyone their spirituality is wrong. I said you don't understand what God is and what love is. God and love are not abstract concepts, and definitely not spiritual or subjective spiritual messages. God is God the First Mover, a philosophical and metaphysical entity, unobservable and unknowable by humans. Love is unconditional acceptance. Your conditional love is not love but wishful thinking at best, and bargaining in practice. Who are you bargaining with ? God ? No. No one can bargain with God. God "is". Period. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

  15.  @willisverynice  The difference between telling someone he or she doesn't understand what God is or what love is and telling the same person his or her spirituality is wrong is the fact that right and wrong are subjective, temporary, and situational, whereas God and love are not. They have their very specific meanings and they are not subject to each person's preference or subjective interpretation. It is like there are two Chinese words you don't understand, it doesn't mean you are wrong in your language skill. You may be very good in French. But if you don't understand those two Chinese words, you don't understand those two Chinese words. I made a statement of fact, you see ? You can disagree with me and try to enlighten me. But there is no right and wrong in that exchange. See ? It's that simple. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
